Hi everyone,

My first post here. I’d be interested in opinions on my most recent Medichecks results. Levels have been a little erratic in the last couple of years with the smallest possible dose changes (+/- 25mcg per week). I also have IBS. I’ve been in the hypothyroid game a long time so I’m very tuned into my body, feeling pretty good at the moment, but interested in various opinions.

Also, if it’s of any interest to anyone (I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned in here before) an endocrinologist on Harley Street told me not to rely on finger prick blood tests for monitoring thyroid levels. He said Medichecks are a good company but it’s wise to always have venous blood draws for accuracy.

Taken at 9am, last dose 24 hours before.

TSH: 0.849

Free T4: 17.2

Free T3: 3.9

Vitamin D: 72.3 nmol/L

Active B12: 106 pmol/L

Folate: 24.1 nmol/L

Ferritin: 95.4 ug/L

CRP: 0.819

Thanks!

Welcome aboard

Always best to add ranges as they can vary but I'll take a punt on...

Free T4 (fT4) 17.2 pmol/L (12 - 22) 52.0%

Free T3 (fT3) 3.9 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8) 21.6%

T4:T3 Ratio 4.410 

Vitamin D 72.3 nmol/L (50 - 200) 14.9%

Active B12 106 pmol/L (37.5 - 150) 60.9%

So as you can see your levels are on the low side but if you feel well then this could be your sweet spot, you don't mention your age could the fluctuations be due to peri / menopause?

You aren't great at converting T4 to fT3 as your fT3 level is lagging behind your fT4

Vit D needs a boost 100-150 ... grassrootshealth.net/projec...

B12 nearer top of range is generally better

A few of us have compared venous and fingerprint tests taken on the same day and there seems to be negligible difference
